Gucci's Turning Japanese

Gucci has channeled their inner Japanese Manga artist to bring their 2013 Cruise Collection to the market in loony toony fashion. Well, they called on Hirohiko Araki to conjure a special comic strip to highlight the story of the clothes in a way that captures the attention of both fashion and animation enthusiasts, and what a wonderful job he has done. These high fashion pieces are ever more desirable when it is drawn, most likely resembling the original sketch designs by Frida Giannini, Creative Director and Designer for Gucci. Make sure to visit the Gucci Manga Style page to have a look at the campaign, and with Manga, remember to always read right to left!

Givenchy Cruise SS13 - A Full Look

These are my favourites from Riccardo Tisci's latest collection for Givenchy, there is just no stopping for this illustrious designer. This collection mixes the sensitive side of men with the soft pinks and juxtaposing that against the warrior inside all men with the blindingly sleek jet plane prints. There is also an undertone of punk added to the whole collection with the ear stretchers and red plaid shirts against the hints of esquire with the paisley prints. I never knew such a mix of prints and colours could flow easily within a collection, but there is no denying that Riccardo Tisci's vision surpasses the conventions of fashion.
